Chaos City Lord

The gates of the Chaos City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City were always wide open, with people frequently entering and exiting. Luo Feng, familiar with the path, entered the City Lord's Mansion. In the past, he had always gone to comprehend the Jiuyu Chaos Stele, but this time, he was there to pay his respects to the Chaos City Lord.

“The City Lord's Inner Estate!” Luo Feng took a deep breath and walked towards the most heavily guarded 'Inner Estate' of the City Lord's Mansion. The outer gates remained open for passage. However, the Inner Estate was guarded by formidable protectors, and at a glance, every single one of them was an Immortal God.

“Clang!” Two guards simultaneously lowered their long spears, blocking Luo Feng and staring at him coldly. “I am Luo Feng, here specifically to pay my respects to the City Lord,” Luo Feng said respectfully. “Is the City Lord someone you can just meet whenever you wish?” One of the guards, whose body was faintly wreathed in lightning, glared coldly at Luo Feng. “Without the City Lord’s command, even a Venerable wouldn’t dream of seeing him.” They were quite proud to guard the Chaos City Lord’s gates. After all, this was the Chaos City Lord, the number one existence in the Virtual Universe Company, the true paramount authority. Immortal Gods all vied for the chance to be gatekeepers. Even as mere gatekeepers, they could show no deference to the Universe Venerables who came to visit. Because they, as gatekeepers, represented the Chaos City Lord’s prestige.

“Please inform him,” Luo Feng said with a slight smile. “I did indeed come here by the City Lord’s command.”

“Oh?” The group of Immortal God guards around him looked at Luo Feng. That’s right. Without the Chaos City Lord’s command, how would this young fellow dare to cause trouble here? “Wait a moment, I’ll inform him.” The Immortal guard wreathed in lightning no longer looked cold; a faint smile touched his lips.

“You are Luo Feng?” A moment later, the Immortal guard looked at Luo Feng in surprise. Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “Go in, Guiyi Venerable is waiting for you inside.” The Immortal guard wreathed in lightning said, simultaneously retracting the long spear that had blocked Luo Feng.

Luo Feng smiled and entered the Inner Estate, causing the Immortal guards watching him leave to transmit messages and discuss amongst themselves. After all, a Sector Lord or Universe Master who could enter the City Lord’s ‘Inner Estate’ was a rare sight, perhaps once in a hundred million years. That was where the Chaos City Lord resided.

...

Inner Estate.

Following the wide corridor, he soon reached a plaza paved with chaotic rock. Luo Feng immediately saw a bald man in a fiery red battle robe standing in the distance. He wore a faint smile, and his entire being exuded tranquility. Just by looking at this bald man… Luo Feng involuntarily felt his heart calm, as if subtly merging with the vast and serene cosmic starry sky. Everything around him seemed to vanish, leaving only the bald man standing there.

“Hm?” Luo Feng trembled, snapping back to awareness. “What a terrifying existence. Sky Eclipse Palace Master, Undying Venerable, Corrosive Fire Venerable, Jiujian Venerable… I felt each of these Universe Venerables was incredibly powerful. And while Conferred King Immortal Gods are strong, I can still roughly gauge their strength. But this person before me… I can’t judge him at all. He must also be a Universe Venerable.” Luo Feng instantly confirmed, “He’s probably the ‘Guiyi Venerable’ the Inner Estate guard mentioned.”

Luo Feng walked towards the bald man in the fiery red battle robe. “I am Guiyi Venerable, here by Master’s command to receive you.” Guiyi Venerable smiled, his smile possessing a power that could touch the soul. “Luo Feng pays his respects to Guiyi Venerable.” Luo Feng bowed respectfully. “Follow me,” Guiyi Venerable said. “Yes,” Luo Feng respectfully followed beside him.

Guiyi Venerable led Luo Feng through the Inner Estate of the City Lord’s Mansion, turning to Luo Feng with a smile. “Master intends to take you as a registered disciple. I assume you are willing.” “Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. “Good. Since you’re becoming Master’s registered disciple, you don’t need to call me Guiyi Venerable anymore. Just call me Second Senior Brother.” Guiyi Venerable smiled. “I became Master’s disciple a very, very long time ago, which is why I’m the Second Senior Brother. Among Master’s many disciples, there are quite a few stronger than me. It’s only because of Master’s special favor that I can often be by his side.”

Luo Feng quickly said, “Greetings, Second Senior Brother.”

“Hm,” Guiyi Venerable said with a smile as they walked. “Master has three avatars. The one presiding over Chaos City is primarily focused on combat, so you must be respectful and not offend him.” “Yes,” Luo Feng replied respectfully, startled. Heavens. That Chaos City Lord actually has three avatars, and the one in Chaos City is primarily focused on combat? Could a single avatar truly command Chaos City? If so, the Chaos City Lord’s power is truly unimaginable. In truth, it was no secret that the Chaos City Lord possessed three avatars. The reason why the strong are strong and respected is through genuine means of slaughter… The Chaos City Lord had also slain countless foreign race powerhouses, and his three avatars were known to billions of races throughout the universe. Each avatar possessed incredibly formidable power.

“Chaos Ruins?” Luo Feng looked at a secluded courtyard before them. Outside the courtyard stood a stone tablet, with the three characters ‘Chaos Stele’ inscribed upon it. “Master is inside,” Guiyi Venerable said, leading Luo Feng in. Luo Feng also stepped inside.

Boom~~~~

Space-time twisted. Just moments before, he was in the City Lord’s Mansion, but as Luo Feng stepped into the courtyard, he felt the stars shift and found himself in a vast, boundless world. Looking across the endless land, corpses were visible everywhere. Some were as massive as planets, while others were smaller than humans, yet each corpse contained a terrifying, heart-pounding aura. This… must be the ruins of a horrific, peak battlefield. Luo Feng and Guiyi Venerable walked across this boundless ruined land.

“Master,” Guiyi Venerable suddenly called out. “Hm?” Luo Feng was then shocked to discover a burly, tall man, about three meters high, standing not far away. He wore an incredibly complex and ancient dark red combat armor, battle boots, and a scaled tail extended from his battle skirt. When Luo Feng’s gaze fell upon this person, he felt his soul tremble. At first, he only saw a figure, but then it was as if he saw the endless laws of the universe… Those grand and vast cosmic laws continuously exuded a murderous aura, making Luo Feng, even his very soul, completely submit. Not a single thought of resistance remained.

“Luo Feng?” A very ordinary voice sounded. All previous illusions vanished, and Luo Feng could once again see the man with his naked eyes. The man in the dark red combat armor with a scaled tail turned to look at Luo Feng. Two fiery red horns grew from his forehead, and strange secret patterns adorned his face, making him appear fierce. Yet, his eyes were as calm as the vast ocean, like the endless starry sky, causing one to involuntarily feel at peace.

“Luo Feng pays his respects to the City Lord.” Luo Feng immediately knelt. “Terrifying, simply terrifying.” Luo Feng’s heart trembled. “The first time I saw him, it was as if I saw the laws of the universe. Yes, this is the so-called realm where one *is* the law! Xiluoduo also said… the Beast God is the fusion of laws, every action carrying fused laws. Even the Beast God statue itself carries fused laws! And the Chaos City Lord… having reached his level, he naturally embodies laws. To observe the Chaos City Lord himself… is to directly observe the powerful laws he possesses.”

This is the realm. A realm absolutely surpassing that of Universe Venerables, truly standing among the very peak existences in this vast universe. “Your performance has been excellent, and you’ve had many fortuitous encounters,” the Chaos City Lord said, looking at Luo Feng with a smile. Luo Feng listened respectfully. But inwardly, he panicked, because he felt as if the Chaos City Lord’s gaze had completely seen through him, as if he had no secrets at all: “No, my Demon Killer Clan avatar carries the core, and it’s been hidden in the World Ring. I’ve long since refined that World Ring… if anyone had probed it, I would have noticed. If anyone had probed my core, I should have noticed too. Hmm, but the Chaos City Lord’s power is incredible, so it’s hard to say. Still, he is the Chaos City Lord, so he probably wouldn’t bother to infiltrate my World Ring to investigate.”

“I’ve watched the video of you challenging the Sky-Reaching Bridge. You’re close to comprehending all 108 spatial essences,” the Chaos City Lord said with a smile. “It’s quite impressive that you’re nearing comprehension of all 108 spatial essences in less than 90 years since arriving in Chaos City.” Luo Feng listened obediently. “You passed the 13th level, which must be due to the trace of artistic conception you comprehended from the giant Beast God statue in the Golden Horn Clan’s ‘Beast God Canyon’,” the Chaos City Lord said. “Yes,” Luo Feng quickly replied. But his heart trembled. It was too terrifying. Although the Chaos City Lord’s deduction had a slight error, it wasn’t wrong. Because Luo Feng’s countless imitations and carvings were of the giant sleeping Beast God statue in the Beast God Canyon. The small Beast God statue Luo Feng obtained was impossible to imitate; even a slightly extra stroke would incur cosmic pressure. However, the sleeping Beast God statue left by Xiluoduo could be imitated.

“To comprehend a trace of artistic conception is good,” the Chaos City Lord said. “Are you willing to become my registered disciple?” “This disciple is willing,” Luo Feng said respectfully. The Chaos City Lord nodded. He was a figure standing at the pinnacle of humanity. While talent was important, he knew very well… some people might be slow in comprehension, but they could continuously break through and advance, still becoming Universe Venerables. Therefore, unless it was an unparalleled genius appearing once every ten million eras, he wouldn’t care. Even for an unparalleled genius appearing once every ten million eras, the Chaos City Lord would observe them before confirming whether to accept them as a direct disciple.

“I know Zhenyan exchanged the first part of the ‘Yan Shen Seven Transformations’ for you,” the Chaos City Lord said. “And your ability to comprehend a trace of artistic conception from that Beast God statue indicates considerable talent in the aspect of fused laws. However… fused laws are thousands, even tens of thousands of times harder than simply comprehending a single law.” “I will give you time, 3000 years,” the Chaos City Lord said. “If you master the first level of the ‘Yan Shen Seven Transformations’ within 3000 years in Chaos City, I will accept you as my direct disciple,” the Chaos City Lord said, looking at Luo Feng.
